Hi Jen,
Your favourite is going to be high in the sky, Orion!
Think of Snake Valley, all the things that were rising at midnight and beyond back then, will be high in the sky during the evening in January.
You just have to think of what the moon will be doing on the night you have your 'do'.
The weekend of the 8th-9th of January will be good, a quarter moon for people to look at, plus Jupiter fairly close to the moon.
Fire up Stellarium or CDC on your computer, change the date to whatever date you're thinking of, and check out what's up!
Cheers
Chris
